• interference with watercourses, lakes and dams, floodplain and intertidal areas, andwetlands• site establishment requirements for construction facilities, including accessmeasures, movement <strong>of</strong> materials and equipment and expected size, source andcontrol <strong>of</strong> the construction workforce accommodation, services (for example, water,sewerage, telecommunications, energy, waste disposal, recreation) and safetyrequirements• removal <strong>of</strong> pre-existing structures• temporary works• upgrade, relocation, realignment, deviation <strong>of</strong> or restricted access to roads and otherinfrastructure• equipment to be used.4.4.1. Tidal works—dredging and disposalDredgingDescribe and map the location, area, depth and volume <strong>of</strong> dredging required for theproject. Provide maps showing existing dredged areas, and areas currently approvedfor dredging, in relation to the proposed dredging.Provide details <strong>of</strong> the dredging methods including:• the dredge equipment, including number and type <strong>of</strong> vessels• the expected duration, timing and operation hours <strong>of</strong> the dredging campaign• whether, where and how any blasting may be required, including the scale,frequency and duration <strong>of</strong> the blasting and proposed management measures• expected vessel movement patterns• how the dredged material will be managed while being loaded• the monitoring and treatment <strong>of</strong> dredged equipment for potential introduced species.DisposalDescribe proposed disposal options, methods, locations and site characteristics (forexample, spoil ground dimensions and capacity), for disposing <strong>of</strong> capital andmaintenance dredge spoil, with reference to the NAGD (Commonwealth <strong>of</strong> Australia2009).Identify the preferred disposal option and explaining how the preferred option wasselected, including consideration <strong>of</strong> the economic benefits and costs associated withthe disposal options.Explain the management <strong>of</strong> the optional dredge spoil disposal sites during disposaloperations.Discuss disposal options for contaminated material, if required.Explain the provisions <strong>of</strong> any previous sea dumping permits for port operations relevantto the project including dates, volumes and existing spoil ground location, capacity andenvironmental values.- 18 - Contents <strong>of</strong> the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals Project<strong>Terms</strong> <strong>of</strong> reference for an environmental impact statement
Describe the location, extent and methods <strong>of</strong> any dredge spoil disposal sites, includingany landfill or land reclamation options, addressing the following requirements:• the boundary <strong>of</strong> land to be filled or reclaimed by metes and bounds, tied to realproperty boundaries• details <strong>of</strong> estimated commencement, completion, rate <strong>of</strong> progress and estimatedcost <strong>of</strong> the filling or reclamation• the location <strong>of</strong> the landward limit <strong>of</strong> mean high water spring tide (MHWST), highestastronomical tide, and the coastal management district as declared under theCoastal Act• existing levels <strong>of</strong> the land and proposed final levels <strong>of</strong> landfill or reclamation inrelation to the lowest astronomical tide and Australian height datum• typical cross-section across the land to be reclaimed showing the proposed finishedlevels and method <strong>of</strong> protecting the seaward boundary <strong>of</strong> the site/s from erosion.Information provided in this section should refer to:• Reclaiming land under tidal water (Department <strong>of</strong> Environment and ResourceManagement 2010c)• Guideline: Allocation <strong>of</strong> quarry material (Department <strong>of</strong> Environment and ResourceManagement 2010a)• relevant policies <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Queensland</strong> Coastal Plan (Department <strong>of</strong> Environment andResource Management 2012a) relating to reclaiming land.For additional discussion on dredging and disposal see Part B. section 5.3.2 <strong>of</strong> thisTOR.4.5. Associated infrastructureDetail, with the aid <strong>of</strong> concept and layout plans, requirements for new associatedinfrastructure or upgrading/relocating existing infrastructure to service the project forthe construction and operation stages. Consider infrastructure such as transportation,water supply, energy supply, telecommunications, waste disposal, wastewater andstormwater disposal and sewerage.4.5.1. Road transportProvide information on road transportation requirements on local and state-controlledroads for both construction and operations stages, including:• any proposed new roads to provide access to or within project sites• existing traffic levels, vehicle types and numbers, and trip lengths for roadssurrounding the access points to project sites• construction traffic, including vehicle types, heavy and oversize loads and number <strong>of</strong>vehicles• operational traffic, including vehicle types and numbers• anticipated times at which movements may occur• proposed transport routes (including any waterway crossings)Contents <strong>of</strong> the EISDudgeon Point Coal Terminals Project<strong>Terms</strong> <strong>of</strong> reference for an environmental impact statement- 19 -
